Bedford Girls' School ~ Transfer Options Meeting
07 January 2010
The Parents' Information meetings (6.00pm and 8.00pm) on the Senior School Transfer Options will still go ahead tonight for those parents who are able to make it.
A copy of tonight's presentation and talks will be posted onto the Bedford Charity website tomorrow so that any parents who are unable to attend this evening can still view the information. All parents will also receive a summary of the Options and a feedback form by email tomorrow so that they will be able to participate in the consultation.
There are also the year group meetings already arranged for next week, which will give parents another opportunity to discuss the Options and ask questions arising from the information forwarded.
GCSE Results
Girls have once again achieved some truly excellent results in their GCSE examinations this summer. 29% of all results were at A* grade, 57% A*-A and 80% A*-B.
Carla Barberio, Rebecca Murray, Hannah Short and Surina Taneja all achieved 10A* grades, Tessa Forbes and Chloe Scott 9A* grades, Connie Fan, Yasmin Jamil and Frances Whittaker-Wood 8A* and Emily Myrtle, Lauren Roberts and Georgia Austin Greenall 7 A* grades.
Eighteen girls were sitting their examinations having spent, in most cases, only 3 years studying in English, and yet between them they amassed results which closely mirrored the overall percentages: 21% A*, 54% A*-A and 76% A*-B.
Although I am sad that our boarders are unable to progress to Bedford Girls' School for their Sixth Form studies, I am delighted that most of our very top achievers will be going on to take A level or IB courses there.
I wish every girl who left Bedford High School at the end of Upper 5 the very best of luck for their future studies.
